Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating
systems and graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft
first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985
as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical
user interfaces (GUIs).[1] Microsoft Windows came to dominate the
world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been
introduced previously. At the 2004 IDC Directions conference, it was
stated that Windows had approximately 90% of the client operating system
market.[2] The most recent client version of Windows is Windows Vista;
the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008. Vista's
successor, Windows 7 (currently a release candidate) is slated to be
released in late 2009 or early 2010.

Most basic computer users only need to know a few things about their
operating system. In Windows Vista Tutorials we will cover the basics of
Windows Vista. We will start with the Start Menu, desktop and screen
saver then move through the control panel and explore the topics of user
accounts, display options, printers and mouse. We will then move onto
file structure and windows updates. If you would like to jump around you
can access each of these tutorials in the links above. Enjoy the easy to
follow tutorials and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

"The Windows 7 is finally here. It's released for beta testers a few
days ago and I am here with a small step by step picture guided tour
through the installation process. I downloaded the x86 version of the M3
build ( build No: 6801) from Microsoft Connect site, which is 2.72 GB
ISO. The x64 version is around 3.2 GB in size.

The installation process was just like vista setup and to my surprise
completed in just around 20 minutes in my low end Virtual hardware. This
surely indicates the performance improvements Microsoft has put on this
windows vista replacement. "
